We successfully used V as dopant to enhance activity of TaON for visible light photocatalytic reduction of CO2into valuable fuels. We investigated that the used V dopants existed in the TaON lattice and replaced several Ta elements in the lattice leading to decrease in the conduction band minimum and increase in the valence band maximum of the prepared Vsingle bondTaON. Hence, the band gap energy of the prepared Vsingle bondTaON was lower than that of prepared TaON or the prepared Vsingle bondTaON material could absorb significant amount of incident visible light for production of e−and h+pairs, which participated in reactions with CO2and H2O to generate CH4, CO, O2and H2. We also investigated that the optimal V/Ta ratio (or optimal amount of V dopant) for maximum enhancing photocatalytic activity of TaON was 1.5 wt%. The prepared 1.5Vsingle bondTaON visible light photocatalytically converted CO2with H2O to generate CH4, CO, O2and H2with generation rates of 673, 206, 1479 and 67 (µmol·g−1cat·h−1), respectively.
